This minor qualifies an individual for a middle school health endorsement in the state of Illinois. An endorsement allows a certified educator to teach health education in the middle school full time, but in the high school a certified educator may teach health education only part time. If a student majoring in K-12 physical education would like to qualify for the secondary school health endorsement, he/she must complete all necessary courses for the K-12 physical education major, health education minor and pass the ISBE Health Content Area Exam.
